CULTEX is a project of collaboration, process and outcome. It features six major innovative textile artists from Japan and Norway, who have worked in three trans-national partnerships over a period of twelve months. During this time they exchanged ideas, techniques and, when spending time in each other’s studios, cultural influences. The result is an exhibition of new work, much of which is conceived as sculptural textiles and site-sensitive installations, that reflect the artists’ individual and collaborative experience during this period.

“If You Could CollaborateIf You Could Collaborate is the fourth annual If You Could exhibition. Aiming to provide a platform for the finest creatives from all over the world to question their conventional working methods and outcomes. The contributors have been challenged to produce something a little unexpected, by working with a partner of their choosing from any discipline, profession or background. There is no brief to answer, or format to honour – the only limit being the enterprise and imagination of the artists involved, and a liberal 12 month deadline. Below are all of the pairings, and their outcomes.”
